ABbbb so lutely...

I have some I need to get some curb-appeal worked on this week...

Adam_M · 07-11-2006, 02:45 AM

My Answer would be NO

Domain name = 1% of what makes a great web site

Location = 90% of what makes a great real estate site

themanager · 07-11-2006, 02:46 AM

Yap, of course. Why not.

beemk · 07-11-2006, 02:49 AM

in what aspect? as far as buying i can look at a house in 10 minutes in the areas i know and know how much i want to offer for it, buying websites you have to be way more careful.

I said "domains or websites" not just domains. Good point though but domains can provide "good locations" too if they are typeins or provide SEO benefits.

depands what you're selling
yahoo.com, google.com vs cars.com , rent.com

your domain name (brand name) is just as important as your real estate location.

Adam_M · 07-11-2006, 02:59 AM

My point is that I know some total morons that have made millions of dollars from well located Real Estate.

It is the people behind a Domain or Website that makes it what it is or what it will return in income.

Webby · 07-11-2006, 03:02 AM

Not really $5 - sure ongoing revenue from a domain is nice, but it's not exactly an appreciating asset similar to real estate (tho may have increased value in future years simply because of the lack of domain names).

If anything, it's prob similar to property rentals - ie.. produces a revenue, but have costs of maintenance. The major difference is, least on average, there is little or no capital appreciation in websites/domain names.

for the most part domains are a lot more liquid that real estate

crockett · 07-11-2006, 05:18 AM

I think that's the only way to treat them but it's still not the same.. With a house you can't move it to get a better view you are for the most part stuck with what you have however you can make it look better.

With domains sure the pricey nice looking ones may get a nice view right off the bat but there is nothing stopping you from developing your domains land to get a better view even if it had shitty view to start with. So with domains the name can be imporant for the looks, but the view can always be changed.

slapass · 07-11-2006, 07:08 AM

I think of the domains and websites as riskier then Real Estate. But that is just not true. I can buy a crappy website and make as much as I would with a million dollar peice of real estate. I pay less for the website. I do not have any debt on the website. Overall the risk is way lower with the website. I just cannot seem to scale it up to the point I can make large investments into income producing websites.

how about domain = location

detoxed · 07-12-2006, 10:12 PM

I've never sold a name for less than $50, and rarely pay more than $9

Doctor Dre · 07-12-2006, 10:13 PM

Not really . I have some good domains... but I never really took care of them. I even forgot to renew one of them that was pretty good lol

hmmm... once again. debatable. I've seen the most beautiful entertaining websites die a horrible lonely death, and seen the remnant of those sites sell for pennies. then, I've seen said site placed on quality domain name (location, location, location) and seen traffic & revenue immediately grow exponentially (by XXX% to XXXX%)

of course YMMV.

Egomancer · 07-12-2006, 10:23 PM

Well,

when you buy a domain you think at the potential too, not only at the site that is there or not!
